Though I supported my family as an educator and not as a farmer, home-grown food and the rural life allowed us to provide a healthy environment for our children. We lived in Ft. Scott, Kansas for twelve years on a forty-acre farm where we raised all but three of our children. We also raised chickens and pigs and milked everyday.

Sarah studied horticulture at JCCC in 2006-2008 and Nicolás studied how the world was broken at KU 2004-2008. While at KU Nicolás found peace in his vegetable gardens and guerrilla growing operations and after leaving KU Nicolás organized The Guild of Guerrilla Growers and later Anti-Hero Farms Edible Landscaping.

Wild Alive is a woman owned and operated small business established in 2015 and operating out of Lawrence, KS. We partner with local area farmers in the Douglas, Johnson and Jefferson county region to preserve fruit & vegetables and utilize the immunities in the local community’s soil. Produce seconds that would otherwise be composted or thrown out are used to create nutrient rich products like sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, miso & hot sauce. The process stays the same but the produce varies by what is seasonally available each month of the harvest. A wild fermentation process is used to create these zippy products, no vinegar or starter cultures found here, only salt & the bacteria that is naturally occurring on the produce. This process creates a probiotic rich environment that allows nutrients to become more readily available for the body’s absorption. Our mission is to share our love of the deeply ancient and cultural practice of fermentation with others. To bring a new level of nutrition, passion, and magic into people's lives. You can find us at several area farmers markets, retail grocery stores, farm stores and at some of your favorite local restaurants.

Additionally, we keep bees and have several medicinal gardens, cut flower beds, two blackberry patches and field of American elderberries. We have been certified organic the last few years but are dropping the certification in 2021 simply because for our small farm, it isn't worth the expense and hassle.
